Abstract

Background

The purpose of this study was to determine any differences in the systemic inflammatory response after the intraperitoneal implantation of three different types of polypropylene mesh.

Methods

Thirty-two male New Zealand rabbits underwent a 6-cm midline incision and opening of the peritoneal cavity. The animals were randomly divided into four groups. In groups A, B, and C, there was an intraperitoneal placement of polypropylene mesh, titanium-coated polypropylene mesh, and composite polypropylene/e-PTFE mesh, respectively. Group D received a sham operation. Blood was sampled preoperatively and at 6, 24, 48, and 168 h postoperatively to measure white blood cell count (WBC), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and malondialdehyde (MDA).

Results

Statistically significant elevations of WBC, TNF-α and MDA were observed in all four groups at 6, 24, and 48 h postoperatively (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in WBC, TNF-α, and MDA between groups A, B, and C at any time interval. However, a statistically significant elevation of WBC (P < 0.05) and TNF-α (P < 0.05) was observed between each of the groups with mesh implantation and group D at 24 h postoperatively.

Conclusion

Intraperitoneal mesh implantation induces mild systemic inflammatory response regardless of the type of implanted mesh.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Wie sieht der OP der Zukunft aus?

04.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Der OP in der Zukunft wird mit weniger Personal auskommen – nicht, weil die Technik das medizinische Fachpersonal verdrängt, sondern weil der Personalmangel es nötig macht.

Umsetzung der POMGAT-Leitlinie läuft

03.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Seit November 2023 gibt es evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zum perioperativen Management bei gastrointestinalen Tumoren (POMGAT) auf S3-Niveau. Vieles wird schon entsprechend der Empfehlungen durchgeführt. Wo es im Alltag noch hapert, zeigt eine Umfrage in einem Klinikverbund.

Recycling im OP – möglich, aber teuer

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Auch wenn sich Krankenhäuser nachhaltig und grün geben – sie tragen aktuell erheblich zu den CO2-Emissionen bei und produzieren jede Menge Müll. Ein Pilotprojekt aus Bonn zeigt, dass viele Op.-Abfälle wiederverwertet werden können.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
